If a variable takes two values, like pregnant and sex, it is often preferable to store them as logical vectors. Though we have already done enough to make the data tidy, there are some other transformations that can clean the data further. In the tidy data, we can represent rows with missing values of count either explicitly with an NA (as in preg_tidy) or implicitly by the absence of a row (as in preg_tidy2).īut in the wide data, the missing values can only be represented explicitly. This case of 2019-nCoV infection was diagnosed in Germany and transmitted outside Asia. The missing (male, pregnant) row represents an implicit missing value because the value of count can be inferred from its absence. So far, none of the four confirmed patients show signs of severe clinical illness.

This an example of turning an explicit missing value into an implicit missing value, which is discussed in the upcoming section, Missing Values section.
